A second chance with my billionaire husband

Liang Wenwan frowned, "People can’t just disappear into thin air."

She took a step upstairs, the two bodyguards at the door hung their heads in shame, "Please, young miss, punish us."

Liang Wenwan ignored them, pushed open the room door, and walked in. The room was neat, the bed was made perfectly, and there was no place to hide anyone in the empty room.

She walked to the balcony; below was the garden. From such a height, falling would at least cripple if not kill someone. As she knew, that woman didn’t have the ability to climb walls barehanded.

Where had she run off to?

As she was furrowing her brows in deep thought, suddenly a pair of hands strangled her neck, the force wishing to strangle her to death, "Die... die, you!"

Accompanied by the woman’s shout, Liang Wenwan’s back suddenly slammed against the railing of the balcony. Huang Wenqing pressed forward, her hands strangling her neck fiercely, screaming with a hateful roar: "It’s all because of you, I will kill you."

The incident happened so suddenly, Liang Wenwan was startled, looking at the woman’s eyes in front of her filled with intense hatred, her heart had a moment of sorrow. She guessed she might not be Huang Wenqing’s biological daughter. But having been raised since childhood, even a dog would foster some feelings, let alone that she considered herself smart and obedient since she was young and quite filial to Huang Wenqing. Why did she hate her so much, even wanting to kill her...

At the moment of life and death, she couldn’t afford to lament anymore. Her hands pushed against Huang Wenqing, but Huang Wenqing’s eyes were already red, only wishing to kill her. The force on her neck grew stronger, gradually becoming harder to breathe...

Was she really going to die like this?

The bodyguards heard the noise, rushed in and saw the madam attempting to strangle the young miss. The two shocked bodyguards ran over and forcibly dragged Huang Wenqing away.

"I will kill you... I will kill you...." Huang Wenqing kicked with her legs, her eyes bloodshot.

Liang Wenwan’s knees gave out, she knelt on the ground, clamping her neck with both hands, coughing violently, her hair messy as she knelt there, almost coughing up her lungs.

Tears flowed down, she looked up at the woman still crazily shouting, restrained by the two bodyguards, the sadness in her eyes fleeting.

"You two, go out."

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and said simultaneously: "Young miss... the madam in this state might be harmful to you...."

"I told you to leave." Liang Wenwan suddenly shouted, tears streaming more violently, yet stubbornly pursing her lips, glaring hard at Huang Wenqing.

The two bodyguards had no choice but to let go of Huang Wenqing and turned to leave.

Without the shackles of the bodyguards, Huang Wenqing immediately rushed at Liang Wenwan. This time Liang Wenwan wouldn’t give her a chance to hurt her again. "Slap" a loud slap sent Huang Wenqing sprawling to the ground, utterly dumbfounded, her brain clearing a bit.

The two bodyguards heard the particularly loud slap and shrank their necks simultaneously, not daring to listen or look any further, quickening their pace to leave, cautiously closing the door, standing guard dutifully at the entrance.

Liang Wenwan walked one step at a time to Huang Wenqing, looking down at her from above, and sneered, "Give me a reason."

Huang Wenqing clutched her rapidly swelling cheek, turning her head, glaring at Liang Wenwan with wide eyes, saying hatefully, "You little bitch, how dare you hit me?"

"I am your daughter. If I’m a little bitch, then what are you?"

"You’re not my daughter." Huang Wenqing suddenly shouted as if someone hit her sore spot, "How could I have given birth to a bitch like you?"

Though she had suspected it, hearing Huang Wenqing say it out loud still made her heart ache suddenly.

As if sensing the change in Liang Wenwan’s expression, Huang Wenqing smiled triumphantly: "I’ve kept this secret for over twenty years, but you, this little bitch, are a scourge, harmed my Rourou. I truly wish I’d strangled you when I brought you home."

Liang Wenwan’s face turned pale, her teeth clenching her lips tightly, "Who am I? Who am I really?"

Suddenly, she grasped Huang Wenqing’s throat, saying coldly, "Speak, or I’ll kill you."

Huang Wenqing knew her daughter whom she raised well, knew her nature, clever, smart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have gradually slipped from her control. But she always thought that her daughter’s demeanor was as gentle as her name suggested. Who knew she would reveal this terrifying side, her cold gazing piercing as if she’d become a devil consuming her whole the next moment.

Huang Wenqing looked at this face before her, her eyes exploding with hatred, "That face, growing more and more like that slut, hahahaha. But she will forever be my loser. Liang Taisheng intended to kick me out for that woman. How could I let them be? I drugged her and threw her into the homeless, letting Liang Taisheng watch his beloved woman slept by a thousand men. Liang Taisheng was too arrogant, given so much cuckolded fury, he beat his beloved woman brutally... I just wanted her to see that his so-called great love was utter nonsense under reality...."

The truth of that year gradually clarified with Huang Wenqing’s incoherent words. Liang Wenwan’s face was frighteningly pale, also cold to a terrifying degree.

"Who is she? Where is she now?" She regretted not investigating her own origins earlier; just hearing Huang Wenqing’s description was viscerally shocking. That woman... what heart-piercing agony did she endure?

Even though she hadn’t met her, even hearing about her from someone else for the first time left her breathless with sorrow.

"She is dead, killed by Liang Taisheng himself." Huang Wenqing laughed triumphantly, "I still clearly remember her look before she died, full of hatred, unwillingness, grievance... she was truly wronged, but what could be done, she wanted to steal my man, that outcome was well-deserved, and you too, you little wretch, I should have strangled you back then...."

Liang Wenwan fiercely tightened her grip on her throat, "You are lying."

Huang Wenqing smiled wickedly, "Why would I let her die? Death would be too kind, because I want her to live a fate worse than death."

"Where is she?" Liang Wenwan shouted.

"She is... she... cough cough." Huang Wenqing suddenly rolled her eyes.

Liang Wenwan suddenly withdrew her hand, her voice trembling, "Quickly say, where is she?"

Huang Wenqing slowly sat up, tidied her clothes and hair, slowly said, "Liang Taisheng and I were married five years without children. At that time, his business began to pick up, often socializing outside. I began to get scared, not to mention he had a history, entangled with a bar singer, though the two quickly separated, it was like a thorn deeply lodged in my heart, occasionally stabbing me when it emerged. I knew well that without children, I would never hold onto this man long-term. One day, he suddenly brought back a child from outside, saying it was a colleague’s family all perished, leaving behind a little baby girl, sparking sympathy, wishing to adopt her. Seeing how fond he was of this little girl, I agreed to adopt her, thinking I had no children myself."

Liang Wenwan clenched her fists, desperately trying to control her trembling hands, knowing this little baby girl was herself.

Huang Wenqing suddenly looked at Liang Wenwan, "Actually, at the beginning, I truly treated this girl as my own, loved her dearly, she was beautiful, smart, and obedient. I thought countless times, how wonderful if she were truly mine... unfortunately...."

At this point, her emotions suddenly spiraled out of control, her eyes exploding with a hatred bound to destroy the heavens and earth.
